Does it bother me that they have a professional relationship with legal counsel that EDIG honors per DM's recommendations?

Does it bother me that they are taking their legal counsel's advice?

No.

Does it bother me that I don't yet know all the facts and how this will play out? Do I need to answer that?

We are quite fortunate to have DM representation on a contingency basis, imo.

You seem to be speculating that nothing else will come from the DM relationship.
